The Challenge

What we needed to solve.

  • Christy Dawn needed to communicate their regenerative farming story without distracting from product buy buttons.
  • The brand required a seamless portal for customers to trade in and purchase pre-loved vintage Christy Dawn dresses.
  • High image resolution requirements for dress textures risked slow page load speeds.
The Approach

How it was built.

01

Storytelling Media Blocks

Created modular Liquid sections for soil-to-closet farm stories, embedded seamlessly into collection grids and PDP accordions.

02

Pre-Loved Resale Hub

Engineered custom collection templates and product tag filters dedicated to authenticated second-hand garments.

03

Next-Gen Image Pipeline

Implemented AVIF/WebP image formatting with dynamic srcsets based on device screen density.
